About Citrix chromebook
Question Hi. I installed the Citrix Workspace App from the Chrome Web Store extensions and it worked fine. There is one issue though when I launch a virtual desktop. It prompts that the "HDX connector is not optimized. It seems that the HDX realtime media engine is not installed. Whenever I use Skype, the sound is not clear and the microphone can barely be heard and cutting off. Does anyone know how to install the HDX engine when using the Workspace app from the Web store? I am using a Asus Chromebook Flip. Thanks. Recommended Posts 1 You could try to use Citrix Workspace App for Android on ChromeOS, instead of Chrome extension.

Thanks for replying. I have tried the Citrix Workspace App for Android on my chromebook but I could not get past the account setup. I get an Error code 548 "An error has occurred while connecting. Check your server address and data connection". I used this address both in the browser and the Workspace extension app and both able to connect and I can log in successfully. I don't know if there is an extra step to make the Android app work. Regards 0 0 Author Posted June 10, 2020 Hi, I found a workaround on this issue. I tried to log in using the "Add account type as a Web Interface" in the Workspace for android app and I am able to successfully log in with the HDX connector optimized/connected. Tried using Skype and it worked fine. I will use this option for now so I can start working while I figure out the

Chromebooks don’t normally run Windows software—that’s the best and worst thing about them. You don’t need antivirus or other Windows junk…but you also can’t install Photoshop, the full version of Microsoft Office , or other Windows desktop applications. Luckily, there are ways to use Windows desktop programs on a Chromebook: either running them remotely on an existing Windows system, through various Android workarounds, or getting your hands dirty in developer mode and running them on your Chromebook itself. Option One: Access a Windows Desktop Remotely Google’s Chrome OS is meant to be a lightweight operating system, so why not embrace that? We recommend running Windows software on your Chromebook by accessing a remote Windows computer and doing it there. There are two different approaches you can take. Access Your Own Windows Computer : If you already have a Windows computer, you can access it remotely and use it to run your Windows software. You can do this using Google’s Chrome Remote Desktop beta webapp . You’ll be able to connect to your Windows desktop from your Chromebook (or any other computer running Chrome) and have complete control over your remote machine, allowing you to work with Windows applications. The downside here is that your Windows computer will have to be running at home whenever you need to access it from your Chromebook. It’s a convenient solution for personal use, but businesses won’t want to manage a separate Windows computer for each Chromebook user. Host Windows Applications on a Remote Server : Chromebooks can use Citrix Receiver to access Windows applications hosted on a Citrix server, or use an RDP client to access a remote desktop hosted on a Windows server. This is ideal for businesses that want to host their own servers and give their users light, thin clients that allow them to remotely access the hosted software. As a home user, you could choose to purchase service from a company that would host a Windows desktop for you and allow you to access it remotely, but you’d probably be better off using your own Windows computer instead. Option Two:
